We would like to read your thoughts regarding point four of the rules of Stage 3.

Leagues must contain no more than 50 participants total. If participants in a league exceed 50, the league may divide into smaller groups of no more than 50. Players are not yet permitted to play against players outside of their league or group.

In my humble opinion, I want to play. We can work around this rule with a smaller league.

Let’s make it safe for everyone, sticking with fifty guys works.

Watching baseball: Great

Watching baseball from multiple angles at the same time: Even better

Playing ball again: The ultimate

We hope that your Ontario government could do what the British Columbia Government has done in mid-June. In BC, their provincial government announced immunity for amateur sport from COVID-19 litigation.

In my opinion, let's make bubble groups with 4-5 teams each at 12-10 players. Players that want to participate this year, need to commit to come to each game, and let's call play ball on the long weekend!

Play against 49 other guys is a workable plan.

90% of the people that are good at slowpitch were on the bench in high school. The other 10% couldn’t care less. We need to get on the pitch.

I unfortunately know that no matter what I say, it will be more likely singing to the choir than changing minds. I’m disturbed by this virus and the possibility of getting it. I fear for our future every day but still motivated by HOPE rather than fear. Playing our game will not bring harm to anyone. I like the bubble of fifty players suggested above. When is the first game.

I read this today...
Q: What are the restrictions for league play, based on the 50 person limit outlined by the Ministry?

A: Leagues may compete as long as the league contains no more than 50 players and does not permit
its teams to play against teams outside of the league, OR, if the league is larger than 50 players, the league must divide its teams into groups of 50 or fewer players and does not permit teams in different
groups to play against one another, or against teams outside of the league.

So the suggestion of 4 teams is good.

How can teams play a league with a 50 person bubble? Do they only play the same 3 teams for the entire year?

First and foremost, the current rules laid out by the Ontario government for Phase 3 is that no league may play with more than 50 players stink.

Unwritten rules are bad for our game. You keep playing you’re hardest until someone wins the game, regardless of the score, especially when you got another game right after.

People are getting haircuts, sitting at restaurants — often at outdoor tables — and they are trying to figure out whether it is safe for recreational activities at a time of year that usually brings a cascade of beach volleyball, frisbee, tennis, pickleball and sports. We are all safe, play games.
